Parasound Halo -CD-1 CD Player
features
ROM drive spins four times faster than any CD drive
- CD is read and analyzed multiple times until every bit is read faithfully
- Audio bitstream comes from an immense memory buffer, not directly from the CD
- User choice of an op-amp or discrete analog output stage
- Three separate power supplies for analog and digital circuits
- Ultra-quiet R-core power transformer for the linear analog power supply
- Premium Connor-Winfield precision VCXO crystal clock for incredibly low jitter
- 44.1 kHz CD data is up-sampled to 352.8 kHz by an 8x interpolator
- Six layer DAC board for lower noise and point of use power delivery
- High performance, jitter-resistant Analog Devices AD1853 DAC IC
- Ultra-quiet National Semiconductor LME49990 audio op-amps
- Proprietary software enables quieter running of the ROM drive
- 0° or 180° absolute polarity selection by remote control
- Choice of silent or audible fast forward or fast back
- Unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR outputs
- Optical, Coax and BNC digital outputs
- BNC & RCA digital outputs are isolated by transformer coupling
- Massive aluminum partitions isolate each function
- Neutrik XLR and gold-plated Vampire RCA jacks
- Full function remote control
